Music

In FPD Lower School Music, children actively participate in making music! Beginning in 3K, they sing and explore basic instruments. In K – 2nd grade, students come twice a week – once for general music class and once for strings (small violin).

 

Science Lab

The purpose of Elementary Science Lab is to help students explore God's Creation through experimentation. During each lesson, students perform hands-on activities that support their classroom teacher's Science curriculum.

Chapel

In addition to daily biblical worldview integration into coursework, FPD lower school students enjoy a regular time of worship at our elementary chapels. Fifth graders primarily lead worship at chapel. During the spring, 1st-4th graders rotate through leading worship.

Innovation Station (STEAM Lab)

FPD's newest lab serves our Pre-K through 5th grade through cross-curricular lessons that make connections between school subjects in a fun and engaging way. Students take a hands-on approach to solving problems with real-life implications.

Spanish

In elementary Spanish, the goal is to provide a fun, creative environment where students in K-5th actively learn. Spanish is not only taught, but also "caught." Students enjoy a variety of games, songs, jingles, stories, and hands-on learning activities.

PE

Physical fitness helps us fulfill our God-given purpose. PE helps students understand the importance of being active and helps them learn how to work as a member of a team. Students start going to PE in 1st grade.

Band and Chorus

FPD 5th graders can participate in either band of chorus, allowing to the further develop their musical talents.

Educating the Whole Child

At FPD, we believe true education nurtures the whole child—academically, spiritually, emotionally, and mentally. With small class sizes and expert faculty, students thrive in a supportive environment grounded in biblical principles. Our teachers challenge students to explore their potential, solve meaningful problems, and cultivate their God-given talents, equipping them for a life of purpose and impact.
